K. Binnemans et al., Visualisation of the reliability of Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters by graphical simulation of the absorption spectrum, CHEM P LETT, 303(1-2), 1999, pp. 76-80
It is shown that graphical simulation of the optical absorption spectrum of
trivalent lanthanide ions doped into glasses is a good method for checking
the reliability of the Judd-Ofelt intensity parameters which are used to d
escribe the spectral intensities of 4f-4f transitions. The method is illust
rated for the absorption spectrum of trivalent holmium in the fluorozircona
te glass ZBLAN:Ho3+. The Judd-Ofelt parameters of this system are: Omega(2)
= (2.25 +/- 0.11) x 10(-20) cm(2) Omega(4) = (2.19 +/- 0.15) x 10(-20) cm(
2), n, = (2.07 +/- 0.11) x 10(-20) cm(2). (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. Al
